The Money Giveaway

This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and MasterCard MarketPlace.

The above logo represents a very exciting concept from Bossy’s friends at MasterCard. It’s the MasterCard MarketPlace — a smarter way to shop online.

Here’s the deal: their website divides the world of goods into categories like Apparel, Travel, Kids & Babies – and listed in these categories are a wide range of stores which have partnered with MasterCard MarketPlace to offer unique deals to those who sign up.

And Bossy wants you to know signing up for this site is way easier than other stuff, for instance trying to write the previous two paragraphs without it sounding as though you failed your class in Business Writing.

In fact, signing up is as easy as one-two-three!

And speaking of trying to write this post without using the phraseology of a bad commercial: Wait there’s more! By setting up your profile with stores you frequent, the MasterCard MarketPlace customizes your home page to reflect Personalized Offers.

But Bossy’s favorite part about this website is OO, which is short for Overwhelming Offer, and represents a daily 50% discount off top brands for those who do have a MasterCard.

In addition to theses Overwhelming Offers, every day until December 24th, the MarketPlace site issues one special holiday deal at 1 PM EST, at which point you race to reserve that item before it sells out while the clock ticks and the list of remaining items diminishes and sister mercy they should make a video game this fun!

  59. My entire kitchen appears to have been stolen by the movers. I do not have anything to cook with. Free dollars to buy a pan or 2 would be swell.

  185. I tried using this and missed out on all the offers. It’s a nice idea and good savings for those who make it in time. We are pooling money for either a family mini vacation, a new dishwasher or a big payment on the credit card. Fingers crossed!

  189. Looks a little like the Amazon Gold Box which is super fun. I will have to try it – hopefully with your giveaway money 🙂

  191. Who doesn’t like saving money. And, by putting a little twist in it there’s a game-like feel to it. Win and save money.

  215. I think it is a wonderful idea and, after looking, a really great site. WOW! They HAD $50 Off $100 Home Depot Card , but it already sold out! But WOW! I hope to use it!

  217. As tight as my budget is and with the state of the current economy in Ohio, I think any site like this is a fab idea!
    80% Off — Get $25 Gift Certificates For Only $2 Each at Restaurant.com is a great deal! I def think I will use it!

  225. They have a lot of my favorite retailers there in one place. Love that! I’d definitely shop TigerDirect.com for that new keyboard I’ve been wanting.

  231. They have great deals, but they go so fast! I was able to get one, but it was a good one, 70% off a $100 Home Depot gift card.

  241. If I win this $100, I’m using the damn money to send a poor blogger to Blogher. And guess what? That blogger isn’t even me! It’s like my cold grinch heart was melted or grew or something and my broom was taken back to the wizard. Anyway, I am trying to get the dough together for someone else to go to Blogher, anyone that wants to help- email me.
